Specification; Recommended Power System (Not Included In The Set); Materials And Tools Required (Not Included In The Set) - Aeronaut Pilot Manual

The Pilot is a based loosely on a modern 20 m pilot vessel. Boats of this kind are encountered along the Baltic and North
Sea coasts, and are very fast - around 25 - 30 kn - and manoeuvrable. Their task is to transport pilots safely to the great
ocean giants, regardless of the weather. The area aft of the control stand provides space for several pilots, so that a single
trip can carry all of them to their workplaces. Most of the typical characteristics and handling of these vessels have been
incorporated in our model, which is equally fast and agile, since it is based on a modern planing hull. The boat is powered
by two electric motors, and steered by means of a dual-rudder system.
The boat features a fully-fitted wheelhouse, while the etched parts for the instrument panel allow many of the instruments
to be illuminated. 3 mm LEDs can be fitted to all the model's lamps. The two bow searchlights are very powerful, and
combine with the vessel's black rubbing strake to provide a distinctive appearance. The main searchlight is assembled from
etched parts and is fully articulated. The reflector and the LEDs are carefully matched to each other, giving a tremendously
powerful, concentrated beam of light. Additional working systems can also be added to the model at the builder's discretion,
as the hull provides ample space for additional auxiliary functions such as bow thruster, lighting system or sound generator.
You will find a brief overview of marine lighting systems at the end of these instructions, together with information on simple
methods of lighting the model.

Introduction:
The model should be assembled following the sequence of the part numbers, as described in these instructions.
You will find part numbers on the laser-cut components. It may be necessary to use a thin modelling knife to release the
laser-cut parts: cut through the small lugs which hold them in their sheets. Check that all components fit accurately before
reaching for the glue, and carry out any minor trimming required. Allow all glued joints to dry out fully before starting the
next stage of construction. We recommend UHU plast spezial or Ruderer adhesive for joints involving the hull; both set
quickly.
